Well, IMI, that wasn't the intention why I said 'convince me' ok!! Of course, I have lived one both sides of the world couple of times back and forth, hence I am just trying to generate interest in the discussion for those who support life style here. I like the most of the 'SYSTEMs' here...road, education, work, gov't (maybe not all of them) and whole lot more systems which are no doubt muct better than our country...simpy cuz they are reliable and available for all to enjoy. Of course, I like the far-sighted, flexible and all-encompassing, scalable constitution that treats every individual fairly and with respect. And of course I like the idea of earning much more money in the corporate world than I could earn back home...though as a succeful (and ethicless) bizman I could earn enough back home itself. Having said all this there are certain cultural and spiritual aspects of life in nepal, it is not comparable with USA...which is what pulls back the heart of most nepalese...espcially once they start to retire from the hectic/active lifestyle here!
